Coming from Italy is Diapason and their exquisitely styled loudspeakers with real wood cabinets. The company seeks to produce speakers that best convey a flare for design and love of music. Company founder Alessandro Schiavi came together constantly works to attain perfection in acoustic reproduction, and to deliver a musical listening experience capable of resonating with our deepest emotions.

Their Diapason Adamantes V combines a 19mm treated silk soft dome with a 170mm direct drive polymetylpentene midrange / woofer driver. While small in size, it still retains a very usable 91dB/W/m sensitivity at 6 Ohms. The front baffle has triangle-like shaping to reduce unwanted reflections that may cause time smearing.

Next up is their quite small Micra III Excel, which sports a 26mm silk soft dome tweeter and 110mm polymetylpentene Diapason direct drive midrange / midwoofer. Efficiency is a bit lower at 88dB/W/m at 6 Ohms. The cabinet is more ox-like than the Adamantes V.

This room was a fast camera click-n-run of sorts as had a business meeting to attend to. One thing I did miss taking a dedicated picture of was Diapason's new Autunno that is hand made with wood hand carved by Antonio Comini. While I do recall seeing it, it simply fit in perfectly with all the other gorgeous hand-crafted Italian audio works of art within their exhibit room. This is one of those moments where I wish there was more time during HIGH
END 2019, as four days is simply not enough to go into details of each and every new product here in Munich.
